Windows through walls

Anonymous

Hey there,
Sorry if this has been explained before, but I was wondering if there was any clean way to insert a window and have it go right through the layers of wall, rather than 1 single "wall"

For example I have added a cladding to my external wall, and also have a wooden interior finish. This amounts to 3 layers, and I cant seem to work out a way to have a window span all 3.

I keep ending up with a window looking in at another wall.
Does anyone have a solution for this ?

i don't know why you've used three walls to create the composite skins for 1 wall and not just create a composite so that you only have 1 wall?
but since you have chosen to work like that, in order to have your window showing, you will need to place empty openings in the other two skins of your three skin wall. So, place an identical window to the one that you have in the other skins and then tell it to be an empty opening in the window tool settings... that way it will be the same size etc as the window you wish to have.
